Google is really forcing HTTPS and the next release of Chrome will flag even more sites as unsafe if they do not use it. Besides the nice green padlock you will need HTTPS to take advantage of HTTP/2.
This has put the cat among hosting providers. There seem to be two schools in the hosting world at the moment:
-
Lets charge as much as we can for SSL certificates and hope no-one notices that there is…
-
…a bunch of hosting companies that includes Let’s Encrypt certificates in even their cheapest plans.
Until today, I was with iNeed and found David’s services excellent. Great support and very good pricing. However it was going to cost me more than I had to spend to implement SSL with them.
Consequently, I looked around. Two companies stood out Inmotion and Siteground.
If you are in the US then Inmotion would be my choice. I’m in the UK and most of my traffic is UK, which is why I opted for Siteground. Both these companies feature well in Reviewhell, too! In addition, they are independent of the huge EIG group.
So made the switch today. Very happy so far - the support is excellent.
